LETTER FROM THE BOARD
9. RECOMMENDATION
At the 2019 AGM, ordinary resolutions will be proposed to approve, among other matters, the granting of the Issue Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate and the Extension Mandate; the re-election of retiring Directors and the re-appointment of auditors.
The Directors believe that the proposed grant of the Issue Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate and the Extension Mandate, the re-election of Directors and the re-appointment of the auditors are in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. The Directors believe that an exercise of the Issue Mandate will enable the Company to take advantage of market conditions to raise additional capital for the Company. The Repurchase Mandate may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be exercised when the Directors believe that such buy-back of Shares will benefit the Company and the Shareholders. An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full may have a material adverse impact on the working capital and/or gearing position of the Company. The Directors do not, however, intend to make any buy-back in circumstances that would have a material adverse impact on the working capital requirements or the gearing levels of the Company. Accordingly, the Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of all resolutions to be proposed at the 2019 AGM.
10. GENERAL INFORMATION
In the event of inconsistency, the English text of this circular shall prevail over the Chinese text.
Your attention is also drawn to the additional information set out in the appendices to this circular.
Yours faithfully, By order of the Board Eternity Technology Holdings Limited Ma Fujun Chairman

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required under the Listing Rules to provide the requisite information to you for your consideration of the Repurchase Mandate.
SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of Shares in issue was 300,000,000. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the 2019 AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 30,000,000 Shares, being 10% of the entire issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the resolution.
REASONS FOR REPURCHASE
The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole for the Company to have general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Directors to repurchase the Shares in the market. Such repurchase may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net value of the Company and its assets and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
FUNDING OF REPURCHASE
Repurchase by the Company must be funded out of funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles, the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands and the Listing Rules. It is envisaged that the funds required for any repurchase would be derived from the distributable profits of the Company.
IMPACT OF REPURCHASE
Taking into account the current working capital position of the Group, the Directors consider that, if the Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full, it might have a material adverse effect on the working capital and/or the gearing position of the Group as compared with the position as at 31 December 2018, being the date of the Company’s latest published audited consolidated financial statements. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Group or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Group.
DIRECTORS’ INTENTION TO SELL SHARES
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates currently intends to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries.
−15 −
APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
DIRECTORS’ UNDERTAKING
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
CONNECTED PARTIES
The Listing Rules prohibit a company from knowingly purchasing its securities on the Stock Exchange from a “core connected person”, that is, a Director, chief executive or substantial shareholder of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or their respective close associates, and a core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) is prohibited from knowingly selling his/her/its securities of the Company to the Company.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, no core connected person has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE
If, as a result of a securities repurchase pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (as defined in the Takeovers Code) could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and may become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code and the provision may apply as a result of any such increase. The Directors are not aware of any consequences of repurchase which would arise under the Takeovers Code.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the following Shareholders had interests representing 5% or more of the issued share capital of the Company:
| Number of | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Shares held / | |||
| Name of Shareholder | Nature of interest | interested(1) | Percentage |
